Namer APC with Rafael 30mm uncrewed turret.

 

I love the Rafael turret.  Wonder why it isn't offered on the international market. But what has me puzzled is why does it have an exposed turret ring?  Seems like an unnecessary vulnerability.

NO! Not "Premier Crisis Response Force"! The Commandant says "Stand In Force"...

 

Fix yourself 1st MarDiv!  He said "Stand In Force"!  Not "Crisis Response Force"! 

Oh and consider this.

Marine Bands dot the land but 1st Tanks is no more.  Kinda makes you wonder about priorities huh?

Generation Y is screwed...

 

This is crazy!

I'm sore from my workout today and then I read this.  Simply amazing. The weird thing is that when you have people less than half your age asking for work out advice and all I'm thinking is bro...you're in your fucking prime and you look like a piece of chewed up bubble gum.  

Jokes aside.

Alot of discussion about the emasculation of America.  I've called it the pussification.

This lack of fitness is a symptom of that (among other factors).

The American dream is dying because Americans are all about chasing comfort instead of doing hard shit.

That arrest in Louisiana has ALOT MORE TO IT than most will ever realize...

 

 
 Just my two cents and I don't mind disagreements with my position but be advised folks...there is alot more to this arrest than most will EVER realize.

The LA State Police are gonna release ALL videos taken and that should clear this up ricky-tick quick.

But back to what I THINK has people stirred up.

The talk at the end of the snippet released to the public.

I'm going off memory here (too early in the morning to drag it up and I'm getting back in the sack soon...its 0310 where I'm at) so bear with me but I believe one of the State Troopers can be heard saying I fought the fucker, choked him and he was still fighting.

Additionally another State Trooper (I believe) is heard in the background asking if his camera was still on.

I guess I'm saying to take a moment and put yourself in their shoes.  This should be easy for my bros in the military.

These guys just were engaged in a high speed car chase thru the back roads of Louisiana.  They get the guy out of the car and his resistance continues (running from cops is resistance).  

I'm guessing they were full text book at first.  Proper holds, proper restraints, used their tasers, possibly pepper spray and then were faced with that crazy situation where you're tettering on the edge of shooting the guy or go full bore.

Think about it like this.

Dude had drugs in his system which made him strong as hell and probably neutralized the signals to his brain that neutralized any pain compliance.

My thinking is that it went from Academy defense tactics training to full on fight with haymakers getting thrown and each State Trooper trying to determine at what point the call isn't "taser, taser, taser" but rather "clear, I'm gonna shoot".

Consider what I've said and then let me hit you with this.

I talked to Defensive Tactics instructors and that "positional asphyxiation" is about to get highlighted nationwide.                      

That was the real issue in the Floyd death (homicide) and is probably gonna be the shatterpoint in this incident (Justice Dept is investigating now).

At the end of the day I can't exactly rage at these State Troopers.  I've fought people that were actively resisting while on drugs.

It ain't fun.

Now to the background issue.  Are they racists?  Don't know.  Doesn't even matter in this case.  The actions they took that night are under the microscope not their personal feelings on race.  Even if they're full bore supporters of whatever group it doesn't matter.  What does is if they did it right when you take in the totality of the circumstances.

We'll see what we'll see but a couple of things I'm absolutely positive about.
1.  When they went to work that night they promised themselves and loved ones that they would do whatever they had to to get home the next morning.

2.  I'm 99.9% sure they didn't wake up to go to work with the idea that they're gonna kill someone that day.

What do you guys think?

Politics Talk . Did the Left hide their Gun Control plans in the Infrastructure bill?

I don't know if this guy is onto something or not. What I do know is that we've seen (are seeing) a "new" way of governing in the USA that is starting to grate on my nerves. From Presidential Executive Orders, to deceptive bills with hidden agendas to the standard overreaching bureaucracy, I'm becoming a bit alarmed. I'm also convinced that all the social issues that we've seen over the last year (yeah...I include the corona virus response in that...the CDC seems confused and feckless...governors overreached in their power and no one bucked against it!) are all deception tactics to keep our eyes off the real action. Conspiracy theory? I'm sure many of you believe I'm falling into that category but damn it, we all know that things are off...

Canadian Army "Photo Of The Week"

Armoured vehicles from 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry playing as an Opposing Force (OPFOR) role into a simulated town during Ex MAPLE RESOLVE.

By pitting our soldiers against a capable, manoeuvrable OPFOR that is fighting to win, we create a training environment where soldiers learn to think critically about their orders and tactics.

Ya know what we haven't heard?  How a Marine Littoral Regiment would perform against an enemy force on the ground.

The turn toward "navalization" has been so extreme that the Marine Corps is focused solely on fighting the Navy's fight.

The idea of having to defend sea lanes instead of engaging in ground warfare is being sucked up in the fantasy that mobility and stealth will provide protection against all threats...to include enemy ground assaults.

Close combat is rapidly disappearing from the skill set possessed by the Marine Corps.

That I find so stunning.  HQMC is thinking of tracking subs but ignores the possibility of engaging in ground combat or God forbid conducting offensive operations.

SMMC said that the warrior mindset would remain.  How?  Missile slingers from the other services might have a warrior mindset but its totally different from what we've traditionally seen from US Marines.

My point?

Have an unscripted wargame.  Pit a Marine Littoral Regiment against a US Army Stryker or Armored Brigade and see how it turns out.  Add whatever air you want to BOTH SIDES and lets see if the MLR survives.  Correction.  Let's see how long it survives.
